These artisans need your business more than just during the Holiday Season. Shop for the perfect gift for that special someone, no matter the occasion.

This post is a long time in the making. Ever since I made a post about supporting the tourism industry without traveling I wanted to do a similar post. This post focuses on artisans and crafters from all over the globe. Use this list and support these local artists. Items are broken down into categories.

It’s the perfect blend of art and travel. This is what Passport by Design is all about!
